Standards Development
This document summarises the observations on the EN 4555X series of standards in view to applying them to household and similar electrical appliances Scope
This document assesses the applicability of the EN 45552 – EN 45559 to household and similar electrical appliances that are in the scope of ecodesign (2009/125/EC).
Note: EN 45552, EN 45553, EN 45554, EN 45555, EN 45556, EN 45557, EN 45558 and EN 45559 are referred to as EN 4555X series of standards to increase readability.
This document will highlight where further work on metrics and measurement methodologies is necessary or may be needed for household and similar electrical appliances beyond each of the EN 4555X standards listed in Clause 5.
The TR supports further standardization activities on material efficiency by identifying the topics on which the horizontal standards of the series are to be supplemented by product-specific definitions and requirements. The goal is that this TR may be applied by TC 59X working groups (mainly TC59x WG23) in order to ensure the implementation of material efficiency requirements for all products in the same manner.
The TR shall help future material efficiency work for household and similar appliances by giving guidance on where in principle amendments to the horizontal standards of the EN 4555X series are needed.
The TR avoids double work, which would result from reviewing the EN 4555X series of standards by each WG of TC59X.
